Thought he covered this in the post-match interview by saying it was 'complicated' and left it at that. I don't know how you'd let someone play with an existing stress fracture and then potentially increase the length of the recovery time as a result now. However, the medical staff probably knew what they were doing, we hope. It could also be that the initial injury wasn't as bad as it seemed and the player didn't totally notice it till the two compounded on each other?

Nothing new here, clubs have been dealing with this kind of problem for years. Its why clubs have to be smart about how they build their squads and rotate them during these periods. I honestly think that if that's something that isn't a priority now (which I dont think is the case) it should be for the future. The AFCON isn't going to subject their players to the cruel weather of an African summer just to appease the European football federations and rightly so.

And you send this in a 10 days span when I've just watched Carpenter's The Thing and then the prequel as well. Scary stuff, very scary stuff.

Think Microsoft are the next ones to jump ship from E3 honestly. But, they also need to have a killer showing before they do and we sometimes forget how much Sony has used E3 over the years to boost hype and get them to where they are at now.

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/01/on-eve-of-ps5-sony-confirms-it-will-skip-e3-for-second-year-in-a-row/ Sony are doing something different here and you have to think its the right thing for them to do too. Why spend all that money and send your devs to a place which dictates the time-frame for a demo when you can run your own show and schedule things the way you want to? While it is a competition to see who has the better titles its more apt to do it on your own terms versus having to jam and rush things. Plus they are doing a PS5 release this year and to have their own event makes a lot more sense. You then have to wonder when Microsoft are going to ditch E3 and go for their own event which they are very capable of doing.

Yes I have. Played it ages ago and I was tempted to get the new one for the Switch but then there were other titles I was more interested in playing this year.

If you like Star Wars you'll get the reference. It's the fact that Storm Troopers can never hit anything and are always missing.

Anytime.

@Rab just sent you a 50 quid as donation. Do let me know if you don't get it.

https://kotaku.com/how-game-companies-use-credits-to-reward-or-punish-de-1840905129 Nice read about the history of game credits, how different countries use them and how devs can get totally dicked over for work they've done leading to poor opportunities later. I'd be a bit pissed if I spent months working on something and never got any credit for it, especially in an industry where reputation pretty much shapes your future.

They just love the number 3. Don't listen to the captain 3 weeks. Don't read the messages and a spot check ... 3 weeks. This one made me laugh the most.

Chances for a playoff are slim now with Couture out with a fractured ankle.

Talk like that means that the club are backing him? Sounds like he's going to get rid of a lot of deadwood or the deadwood is going to get auto-ejected. In a few months time they'll have gotten rid of the last three if thats what they want. Makes you wonder what their long-term plan is.

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/01/dells-new-concept-ufo-puts-pc-gaming-on-a-nintendo-switch-like-device/?comments=1 Dell are trying the unthinkable. Putting PC gaming in a switch-like container. Looks impressive so far.

As a rule of thumb. Premature anything is just bad ... fucking Caps. Kane should have ended it in OT but he got stopped and then seconds later they go up the other end and win.

As a Sharks fan I was thinking yeah this is going to end very well for us. Then it just all went to pots.

Just finished watching this and its very good 8/10 for me.

Norwich was where he strutted his skill. They used to be sick of him. Even the one where he hit the shot earlier through the defense was a great piece of skill.

That Suarez hit against Norwich is some skill. The Salah one is also impressive because he appeals for the handball then goes around and dizzies two defenders before putting it past their GK.

I don’t think Underwater will be bad but they’ve done this setup before and with a better female protagonist too. Wish they’d do something different like the aliens are having a good day underwater and the humans come and the aliens have to save their kind by getting rid of the human invaders.
